Help with the menopause

Menopause can be a hugely challenging time for many women. However, with access to information, education, advice and emotional support, every woman going through this can better understand what’s going on with their body and emotions, and really take control of their health and wellbeing.

Menopause Group at Luton All Women's Centre:

We regularly run a 4-week menopause support group from LAWC, Bedford, online and sometimes other locations in Luton, some of which are delivered in Urdu or Polish. Daytime and evening options are also available. Go to our dedicated menopause page to find out when/ where the next course starts.

This group is open to all women (not just existing LAWC clients). Places are limited and must be booked in advance.

There is also lots of other local and national support available. Use the resources below to find out more.

What we do

Luton All Women’s Centre (LAWC) has been supporting women and girls living in Luton and Bedfordshire since the early 1990s. Offering a wide-range of advisory, information, practical and holistic support services, our aim is to challenge gender inequality and empower women and girls to enjoy lives that are safer, healthier and fairer.
Jobs

LAWC is an organisation run by women for women. Our purpose – ‘Challenging gender inequality, creating a safer, healthier and more equal society for women in Luton and Bedfordshire’. If you are passionate about working with women, have the skills or experience we’re looking for and want to make a difference, then we’d love to hear from you. Take a look at our current opportunities.
Counselling

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, abuse, bereavement or any other distressing issue in your life, it can be easy to feel alone or that everything has moved beyond your point of control. Counselling provides the opportunity to talk with someone about how you’re feeling in a wholly supportive, confidential and non-judgemental environment. At Luton All Women’s Centre, professional counselling is an ongoing and vital part of the holistic support we offer to our clients.
Domestic abuse

Almost 30% of women in England and Wales say they have experienced domestic violence/abuse since the age of 16. If you are affected by this issue, Luton All Women's Centre is there to help.
